The Showroom walls were filled with found paintings from March 16, 2019, through April's first Saturday Art Crawl. The Commission to Rescue Abandoned Paintings plucks the discarded works of amateur and unknown artists from the brink of oblivion and gives them another chance to be enjoyed, purchased by collectors, or re-primed and sold to artists as affordable, ecologically friendly substrates for new artworks.
The Commission reduces the prices on these paintings over the course of the exhbition. When a painting fails to sell at a minimum price of $5-$10, it is re-primed and moved to a section of the showroom dedicated to reusable canvas. We are grateful to art consultant Rachel Bubis for sitting down with us and lending her insight on several exciting artworks! |

The Tiny Furniture Warehouse Blowout Sale was the first-ever "sales event" at the Crappy Magic Showroom. David stars in our inaugural infomercial production as a (literally) tiny furniture salesman giving a tour of this highly unusual warehouse.
